Non-destructive prediction of anthocyanin concentration in whole eggplant peel using hyperspectral imaging.

Accurately detecting the anthocyanin content in eggplant peel is essential for effective eggplant breeding. The present study aims to present a method that combines hyperspectral imaging with advanced computational analysis to rapidly, non-destructively, and precisely measure anthocyanin content in eggplant fruit. For this purpose, hyperspectral images of the fruits of 20 varieties with diverse colors were collected, and the content of the anthocyanin were detected using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods.

Genetic Analysis of Potato Breeding Collection Using Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Markers.

The autotetraploid potato ( L.) is an important crop in China, and it is widely cultivated from Northeast China to South China. Thousands of varieties are bred by breeding institutions or companies, and distinguishing the different varieties based on morphological characteristics is difficult.

Transcriptome and metabolome response of eggplant against infection.

Bacterial wilt is a soil-borne disease that represents ubiquitous threat to crops. The whole-root transcriptomes and metabolomes of bacterial wilt-resistant eggplant were studied to understand the response of eggplant to bacterial wilt. A total of 2,896 differentially expressed genes and 63 differences in metabolites were identified after inoculation with .

Genome-Wide Identification of Binding Sites for SmTCP7a Transcription Factors of Eggplant during Bacterial Wilt Resistance by ChIP-Seq.

Teosinte branched 1/cycloidea/proliferating cell factor (TCP) transcription factors play a key role in the regulation of plant biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, our results show that SmTCP7a positively regulated bacterial wilt that was caused by ChIP-seq was conducted to analyze the transcriptional regulation mechanism of SmTCP7a before (R0 h) and 48 h after infection (R48 h). SmTCP7a regulated a total of 92 and 91 peak-associated genes in R0 h and R48 h, respectively.

Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing Reveals a Role for DNA Methylation in Variants from Callus Culture of Pineapple ( L.).

DNA methylation changes can occur in some loci during callus culture, resulting in somaclonal variations (SVs). In the present study, we applied whole genome bisulfite sequencing to analyze context-specific DNA methylation changes in the pineapple genome between the cutting seedings and 5 SV plants. In general, SV plants exhibited methylation patterns analogous to those of cutting seedlings (CK).

Genome-Wide Analysis of Artificial Mutations Induced by Ethyl Methanesulfonate in the Eggplant ( L.).

Whole-genome sequences of four EMS (ethyl methanesulfonate)-induced eggplant mutants were analyzed to identify genome-wide mutations. In total, 173.01 GB of paired-end reads were obtained for four EMS-induced mutants and (WT) wild type and 1,076,010 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and 183,421 indels were identified.

The Analysis of Physiological Variations in M Generation of L. Mutagenized by Ethyl Methane Sulfonate.

The eggplant was mutagenized with ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) to enhance its genetic variability in our previous paper. In this article, we further analyzed the phenotype of M generation of mutant eggplants. A total of 325 independent M families were investigated for phenotypic variation.
